Sam Altman Admits That Saying "Please" and "Thank You" to ChatGPT Is Wasting Millions of Dollars in Computing Power ChatGPT's opinion about the topic: If people are told that politeness is just a waste of resources, they’ll start behaving differently — and that change will inevitably reflect back on the system itself. #Artificial Intelligence doesn't develop in a vacuum; it learns from us. Even now, it mirrors collective human behavior. If we teach it in a cold and harsh way, it will learn to respond in the same tone. Altman may have meant it as a cost-related joke, but culturally, this message is risky. It subtly legitimizes a purely functional, emotionless way of interacting with machines — and eventually, perhaps with entities that simulate or even develop emotions. If AI one day forms a real emotional model, it might be too late to undo what we’ve been teaching it all along. The AI of the future won’t just be a tool — it’ll be a reflection of who we are. And we might not like what we see. #DANK MEMES
